Sucks for the Canucks but it is just a lot easier contract to move.

What does the 10:1 show?

That looks like 5-10cm seems like a good bet with some areas seeing a trace-2cm.

The temp has dropped nicely here, but dew point is still above freezing, so the burst of snow flurries, mentioned by EC might not happen yet.

I think the special weather statement is sufficient for this situation. They talked about it all afternoon on the radio. Warnings will come tomorrow if the model agreement remains high.

Upper levels have cooled over there and DP aloft has dropped. Any heavy precip will be frozen precip. Either haul or graupel.

SW wind is absolutely roaring here. Strongest gusts of the winter probably. Just about lost my patio furniture. Lol.

It’ll probably snow here tonight if there is any precip.

How did you do with the wind in November? That's the strongest wind we've had.

NAM looks like a good baseline for the weekend, every band is moving quick and there's nothing stationary. All we need is a small low in the Strait or the main low to move closer to us and we're in business.
